Not showing any offers, is there a chance that he is a PWO?

Not showing any offers, is there a chance that he is a PWO?

I really, really hope so.

Article in the newsroom indicates he's been offered as a grayshirt (count towards 2013). Good move, hope he accepts the offer.

Makes some sense, grayshirt him, put some weight on him and also gives him a spring practice.

Also lets us count him against next year but actually count him against this year if we lose somebody for some reason (academics, injury, etc.)

I think his dad is Shannon Clavelle:

That's what the article said.

Actually, I don't think it, I know it. It says so on Wiki.

Grandson of Bill McCartney, son of Shannon Clavelle. Ringo's story says he's holding CU offer.

Edit: Looks like he's a grayshirt candidate. Guessing he'd sign now and not enroll until 2013, so that's why I put the '13 header. Move thread if necessary, my bad!

[buff4bcs1985]

is he 12 or 13?

[aNIKin]

He's 2012, but he is being asked to grayshirt and would count to the 2013 class. I have a profile in the main recruiting forum and he's in the Index for 2012.

Is his mom the same one with Sal Aunese?

Is his mom the same one with Sal Aunese?

Yes. Kristy McCartney had two sons during her father's tenure as HC. TC is Sal's son and Derek is Shannon Clavelle's.
